Comment/Synopsis

Two reporters clash at first meeting and then fallmin love and marry. She SHe is a workaholic and becomes afamous, he is more laid back and this leads to stresses in their marriage. This is an entertaining romantic comedy that plays on the differences between the two lead characters in terms of their attitude to work, life and marriage. Katharine Hepburn gives an excellent performance for which she was Oscar nominated. The final scene wher Katharine Hepburn attempts and fails to cook breakfast for Spencer Tracy is a great comic scene. It was loosely remake as Designing Woman.
